I would like to personally thank the Patten family for their long-standing support of The Rooms! Because of wonderful families like yours, we are able to continue doing what we do best.
We were honored to host the Patten family for this year's Donor Loyal Tea. Their long-time support of Arts and Culture in our community and The Rooms is truly commendable, and we express our appreciation for their continued generosity. #RoomsNL

A fitting dedication to a pillar of our Arts and Culture community. Many may not know this, but John played a pivotal role in shaping my career when I was just a teenager! He helped me secure my first job as an usher, igniting my passion for this industry. #NLArts
A wonderful gesture. The Rooms is incredibly grateful to have been one of many recipients of Mr. Perlin's philanthropic support of Art and Culture in our province. #RoomsNl #NlArts

Martha was not only a valuable colleague but also a dear friend. Her immense professional and personal contributions will leave a void that cannot be easily filled. She will be greatly missed.
We are saddened to hear of the recent passing of retired Provincial Archeologist Martha Drake. Her invaluable work safeguarding the archeology of NL and contributions to The Rooms have enriched our collections, ensuring rich documentation & accessibility. bit.ly/3XLIhig

It was a treat to attend the unveiling of the @BizartsNL Art Car! This moving canvas, "Putup Ni'kmaq", or "Whale Family," created by Mi'kmaq artist Marcus Gosse, will spend the summer promoting the Art App. A very creative way to showcase local art! #ArtsNL
